LAIP REPORT. COURT OF . CHANCERY, AUGUST 12. SKIPWITEI V. SIJERAVI.N This was a petition on the part of the Defendants, for leave to . file a supplenitintal bill, to obtain a re hearii .ot, - the cause.- This ,Petition was supportqd D by an affidavit of one of the etehdaots, that he had been entirely ignorant of the equitatile . construc,:tion of a certain act of his Testator: Mr. El - nat and Mr. HEALD Wete Uoupso tor the Petition. They stated, that the father of'flid,present Defendant had by -his marriage settle/Tient a power of charging ,50 0 . for each ,of, his younger chil dren ; , but t hat on the marriagc. of one, of his daugh tyrs xvith Mr. Lee, he-paid a - SUID 0f.5,0001;a5-a.inar ri32e pA,rt ion.' The present Defendant hadThotbeen aware, at the hearing of the cause, that by the con stwaion of a Cot!rt of Equity,: The paying a larger ''Surn than -witat was_ mentioned'' ir - the settlement Wa's execution of the appoitaMen. it having been;now inferred, that such was;the Course of de . ci, , ionsin that Court, they trusted that; Mr. and Mrs. Lee would not be allowed to -put In their poOkets . 2.500.1. more than They; were entitled to. Sir SAMUEL E M ILLY and Mr.' THOMPSON - COD-. tended on the, other side,- that applications for re hearing causes 'u: - ere merely applications to the dis cretion of the'-Conft ; and" that 'the Court never granted them, unless it w's well ,convinced - there had beenotne gross niistake, or that smile new evidence 1. - yould have entirely altered the decree.= In the present case, however, -- irappeared Chat the father did not consider the 50001. which he gave to Mrs. Lee as an .execution of his power of charging 25001. nn the estates for her- use, as -he had given. the sable portion of 50001. to' his other daughters,: in addition to the 25001. The LORD CIL said, that the afikkttit appe;:rA to him not to,be.sutficient to induce the Court to grant a re-hearing. From •what had,been ,staved to hi m t i - om th e ear, it appeared that. t.here would bescomratil.'.tory evidence, andthe.case would be by no tneans. so clear as to have a re-hearing granted as a matter of course. He should, however, floc decide .without aeeing the settkinents arid, the ditterent deeds of appointment, which were not then in Court. • FERRARS V. SEEN. r• • : < . This was a petition, on the.parrof, the,Plaintiff, to have the Defendant removed froth the manage ment of a literary concern, plied "-The Bath Chro nicle." The Defendant is "a widow, and bad the managern,nt of the . same. in trust for her own end 'dren, and also - for the children of . the Plaintiff, who had been married-to the sister of litr husband. The - complaint against .her was, that'sheallOwed a Mr - . - Wood to manage the concern 011relihed; and that be - managed it in a Way - ilesirciariVe to the interests of those tor whose'benefit it had been kit. It was also staled, that as soon as Mr. Wood had received notice of the present Motion, he threatened to ruin - the establishment by . settin!,,2; upanotherin opposition to' it ; and that be aEtually had tampered - w ith the printers to leave the establishment, and sworn one of them to work for him only. • In answerto this it was' :.worn, that the concern bad increased and flourished under the management of Mr. Wood, and that hiS-intentioin towards the Defendant were honoirrable. it WaS argned ,the part of the Plaintiffs, that , whether Mr. Wo,d• and - Mrs.• Keen might marry or twt, it' viAi evideut that Mr. Wetid had now such an iAtience• ;hat the concern could no - lorig& re main under the same Managtment with safety to the thildren.• The LOttb CHANCELLOR said, that 14 Tr. •would do well s to con Sider, that even if he were now *to set up a new establishthent, he would nor find it 'easy to himself of the liability of a trtistee for the children; in which capacity he had - now . aeted for soiree year's. He was not,, however, pre pared to say, that the thanagetnent of the concern 'aught to be taken from the Defend - ant. :He should 'bestow a little more con•;ideratitin :On that, point be lore-he gave his final Opinion. - ':c: • - LEITES, AUG. 11. ''.l The, 8a11,.. night, wasmomerously attended; there was : an. elegant. display of - compqny, . who re paired to it from - Brightoni. Worthing, and.the sur rounding places. Viscountesses MIDDLETON and 'HAMPDEN, Colonel SERGISON, with a n umerous party; Lady SHEFFIELD, and C.4l.4ain snipNaa, and a party of ladies, were present. .:The town was all bustle during the night—bds could not be had at any price. Early in the morning, the surrounding bills had a beautiful etfeat,-from the various military corps which were out at an. early hour.. By twelve o'clock, the Course assumed it,s-uival lively appear ance. The company were as , numerous as yester day. We have only.to lament the absence of his Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, who remained at Brighton toreceive his Royal Brothers, who were expeted there in ttie course of use day. The racing did not begin until balf.past .two. . Lansdown Fair was numerously attended on Wed nesday ; there was an inimense show of inferior horses and lean cattle, but the sale was dull. The light-fingered tribe had 'an excellent harvest : one gentleman farmer, who went to deal largely in lean ock, lost his pocket-book, with near 10001. Early on Thursday morning a fine young woman, about 2.t years of age, drowned 'terse; t in the Gravel Pit Water, at Hackney. It seems she tool. off her upper garments, and bolded them UD, and then de liberaiLly walked into the water, till she got out of her depth, and then sunk.

Mr. Brady, a clerk in the ViCtualling-OAce,. stated; that the bill came to the .thfice in due course, and would have been accepted ; but upon a refe rence to the bdoks, it appeared that .the Purser's name was mis-spelt ; this created suspicion; which led to an inquiry, when it was discovered that the bill was torgekt • The Jury tound the Prisoner Guilty.
